Kerala Blasters is on a four-game profitable streak whereas Bengaluru FC, which it performs within the ISL on the Nehru Stadium right here on Sunday, is on the ninth rung within the 11-team desk however Ivan Vukomanovic made it clear that his group should be at its best on Sunday.
“If you look at the rankings, of course you see a different situation, but I think our opponent is one of the league’s best teams,” mentioned Vukomanovic, the Blasters head coach, on Saturday.
“Most of their players are national team players, they have individual qualities that can make a difference, we are aware of that. Every game that we play we will have to approach with an absolute 100 per cent because there are no easy games for us.”
He relished the truth that Sunday’s sport is a southern derby.
“It’s a nice derby so we have that kind of obligation to give something extra.”
In the meantime Bengaluru head coach Simon Grayson feels the rivalry in opposition to Blasters is an effective alternative for his group to return to type.
“This is one of the fixtures that, when I first arrived in India, everyone spoke about. Given the rivalry between the clubs, the number of fans that are going to be there, and now it has added the spice that they are in good form and we are looking to get back to winning,” he mentioned.
“So it’s something I am excited about and I am sure the players are as well.”
